To dance or not to dance?
Looking back on the last 14 years of my life I have realized my schedule has consisted of dance and school. Is this what I really want in life? I have been thinking about what my life would be like if I didn't dance, spent time with friends, and made time to relax and not worry about anything. I have thought long and hard and I can not decide whether dance is something I want to continue doing. Somedays I feel if I don't dance I will die, while other days I don't even want to look at the studio. I feel left out of a lot of things my friends do because I am so involved in dance, and I think is this the life I want for myself? I feel if I quit dance I just gave up 14 years of my life, but I also feel I will be much happier. I want to always be able to tell my friends I can hang out whenever, but with dance I can only say "let me check my schedule, it may be a few weeks." I tried out for varsity cheerleading at WHS a couple of weeks ago and made it. I decided to cheerlead and take 2 or 3 dance classes next year to try and decide what I really want to do. I have always wanted to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader when I was in college like my mom. I have wanted this since I was 6 and I don't want to give up on my dream, but if I quit dance trying out is out of the question. I went back to ballet at the beginning of sophomore year and realized how much I missed from just taking a of couple years off of ballet and if I quit dance all together I don't want to see how much more I would miss. So...to dance or not to dance?
